A NEW CHAPTER IN TELLURIDE: LUXURY MOUNTAIN LIVING REACHES NEW HEIGHTS WITH FOUR SEASONS ARRIVAL

Even as it continues to rise as one of the most desirable mountain destinations in the world, Telluride still feels like a well-kept secret. The historic town is nestled in a box canyon surrounded by the famed soaring peaks of southwest Colorado. It is remote in the best ways, and the expansive grandeur of the landscape offers space for a slower cadence. In a world where life keeps getting faster, Telluride seems to help stretch time a bit.

Working in this premier luxury second home market, my clients come from all parts of the country. And, with each new ultra-high-net-worth client I meet, I hear the same refrain: life is busy. Everyone is searching for time  time to breathe, time to play, and especially time to enjoy the ones they love.

I am grateful for the life I have built here and for the ability to share this special place with others who appreciate all that our exclusive community has to offer. Telluride is a real town with heart and soul, filled with hard-working people who prioritize their quality of life.

Our luxury real estate market, like many prestigious vacation towns, absorbed an influx of affluent buyers hunting for refuge after 2020, spurred by the ability to work remotely along with historically low interest rates. Mountain luxury markets surged, plateaued, and are now trying to find their footing again.

TELLURIDES LUXURY MARKET EVOLUTION

Real estate brokers will tell you: real estate is local. Markets are not uniform across the board, and they can move in different directions over certain time periods. And, while many other resort towns are now just consolidating gains from the recent boom, Telluride is entering an unprecedented new chapter in luxury mountain living.

The upcoming Four Seasons Resort and Residences, slated to break ground this year, promises to be the most transformative development the town has seen since the construction of the Madeline Hotel over 15 years ago.

With almost three decades of luxury real estate experience in Telluride, I can clearly see that this is the start of a new chapter in our market. It is big news and is a catalyst that will move real estate prices in Tellurides already exclusive market.

UNCROWDED SLOPES: TELLURIDES PRIVATE SKI EXPERIENCE

For many ski mountains, an unfortunate consequence of the mountain-town real estate boom, coupled with the widespread popularity of the Epic and Ikon passes, was a shift from a near-magical experience of skiing to one that feels more like a lesson in patience, stranded in long lift lines and dodging others on increasingly crowded slopes. This reality has sent some looking for a solution at private ski clubs around the Mountain West.

Luckily, Telluride is different. Telluride has no drive-up traffic. Theres no sprawling suburban base, no highway funneling weekenders into town. Its not on the way to anywhere else, and thats what keeps it special. With limited residential development and a lift system designed for far more skiers than it currently serves, Telluride feels like a private ski area. We charge down the slopes and ski right up to the lifts; a wait of more than five minutes will elicit grumbles from locals.

Were on the cusp of a new level of luxury mountain experience in Telluride, and its exciting to welcome those who will appreciate all that we value in Telluride  blue skies, crisp and clean mountain air, bright stars in the night sky, and dramatic mountain vistas that inspire us and remind us of our place in the world and what really matters.

In Telluride, youll feel the change. Discover what luxury mountain living is like when you give yourself permission to slow down.
